High Walls
Took the 1885's out for some fun yesterday. 6.5 Creedmoor and the .38-55
Yeah, I know the Creedmoor is a new fad cartridge but when you stick it in some Walnut and Steel I get weak. It actually shoots very well and not much recoil, was just having fun so no targets to show.

Re: High Walls
Actually the 6.5 CM is just a rebadged and renamed 6.5-250 Savage Ackley Improved...
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

Re: High Walls
My Blackhawk clips must be in the same place as my re-badged Ackley. I do not have anything beyond a hunting 3x10 setup, plain cross hairs with no hash-marks. I wanted one "target" type rifle and scope to play with at longer distances, been fun so far.3leggedturtle wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 2:07 pm Actually the 6.5 CM is just a rebadged and renamed 6.5-250 Savage Ackley Improved...

Re: High Walls
Its a great cartridge, with a new name. I meant no malice sarcasm. Its very fitting for a nice single shot. Always amazed me how it took so long for the 6.5's to catch on.

Re: High Walls
None taken, I've been averaging 1/2 inch to an inch with the 6.5 at 100 but I also only use a front bag and no rear bag, rifle on the shoulder on so the rifle probably moves more. I'm sure I could make miraculous one hole groups if I threw it in the sled but that's not shooting to me.
I did accidentally make a clover leaf with that 38-55 at 100 yards when I first got it, hasn't happened since. Once in a while I get all the same blurry in all the same place

Re: High Walls
The 1885s have always been a favorite of mine. I was looking at a new .22 Magnum Low Wall yesterday. Might go back for it, haven't decided yet.
Here's my Uberti in 30-40, it's a tack driver and a ton of fun to shoot!

Re: High Walls
Nice looking guns which shoot accurately are never a wrong thing to see.

Re: High Walls
Oh my, love to see these high (and low) walls. I had to sell my B78 when times got tough but someday would like to get another high wall. Always wanted one in 33 wcf.
Re: High Walls
That C Sharps 22lr is really nice. I've had a long time desire for a Low Wall which they offer in 22 Hornet.
